Sign InIn a move reflecting the growing intersection between traditional equity markets and digital asset platforms, Binance has launched new perpetual contracts. According to reports, these U-margined derivatives include SoFi Technologies (SOFI) and Palo Alto Networks (PANW), alongside crypto assets SHAZ and PENG. This initiative aims to provide additional liquidity and allow traders to gain leveraged exposure to these specific instruments without requiring direct spot ownership.
This expansion comes as cybersecurity firms like Palo Alto Networks see heightened interest; the company recently reported a 15% year-over-year revenue increase in its latest quarterly filings. Compared to fintech peers, SOFI continues to expand its user base, while these new contracts offer a mechanism to speculate on price volatility in a high-risk environment, particularly with the inclusion of emerging crypto assets like PENG and SHAZ per market data.
Regarding price levels, PANW stood at $348.66 while SOFI closed at $17.01 (close July 20, 2026). Traders should monitor broader market sentiment following recent US economic data, which showed annual inflation cooling to 3.5% in June, a factor that typically influences risk appetite across both equity-linked tokens and the broader crypto derivatives market.
